The Crest II XRS RE 22 2007 vs Crest Savannah 20 2007 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Crest II XRS RE 22 2007 measures 22,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 20,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Crest Savannah 20 2007 at 2,0 feet (2007).

That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 115 hp for the Crest II XRS RE 22 2007 and 115 hp for the Crest Savannah 20 2007. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup.

If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Crest Savannah 20 2007 could be the deciding factor.

The Crest II XRS RE 22 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 12 that costs less to run day-to-day.
